Olá from Portugal! Amarok with Tischer 230
Posted: May 30th, 2021, 2:25 pm
Hello everyone,
My name is João Santos, I come from Portugal and I live in Sintra.
In 2010 I have built a Cabin that I installed in an Iveco 40.10 4x4.
You can find the pictures of it here.

I recently sold my Iveco.
I have a Volkswagen Amarok as a vehicle for my daily commute (and because i didnt want to continue to receive the additional costs from Iveco) I recently bought a Tischer 230 from 1999 that i will go and pick up in the end of the month.
Because of the aditional weight, and the fact that my Amarok add originally the Comfort Suspension (2+1 leaf springs) with the Aldo wheels, i have upgraded the suspension to Heavy Duty (3+2)
I have also added the VB Semi-air to the rear axle.
And New wheels have been bought to handle 1200kg each,
and new tires also.
I have a design and architecture practice studio with many tools and a 2.5m X 1.30m CNC, i will "with time" try to relieve the weight in the end of the Tischer, in order to easy the rear weight past the rear axle.
So i am preparing everything to go and get the Tischer 230, i have ordered the Fixing points from Tischer (but they are taking a lot of time, and eventually i will end up fixing some like this myself the the Amarok Chassis
.
I already bought these straps instead of the Turnbuckles.
They have a Tensile force LC 750 daN (750 kg) and a Belt load: LC 1500 daN (1500 kg idum.)
And because i dont know if Tischer will send me the electrical connections to the Amarok, and my amarok has the Towing socket, i will have to read a lot this forum to get the solution!
But for now this is all.
Regards from Portugal and wish you all the best.
